DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE 

CATALOGUE FREE ON REQUEST. ALL COURSES BY MAIL. 



This is one of the oldest Departments of the College. 
The object in its establishment was to provide practical 
courses of instruction for the large number of persons 
who were each year taking the Civil Service examinations 
of the United States Government, and the gratifying suc- 
sess which has attended its work is the best evidence that 
it supplied an urgent need of ithe hour. The courses of 
this Deparement are based upon the examinations given 
by the Civil Service Commission so that one takes a large 
number of trial examinations exactly similar ,to the real 
one before he comes to the final test. These trial exam- 
inations are made up in part of questions which have re- 
cently been used by the Commission in its examinations 
and in part by questions along the same lines prepared 
by experts. So closely have we followed the work of the 
Commission that the latter questions frequently appear in 
the Government examinations after our students have had 
them in our lessons. When one of our trial examinations 
is finished it is sent by the student to the College where it 
is criticised by experts and marked and graded exactly 
as the Government examinations will be graded by the 
Civil Service Commission. The student, in this way, knows 
what grade he would have made had this 'been the real 
examination. In returning these papers our examiners point 
out the errors of the student, suggest means of improvement, 
and enclose the answers in full worked out in detail exactly 
as they should be done. This is sent back with other work, 
which in its turn, will be treated in like manner. 



President Roosevelt made some new rules shortly after 
his inauguration which made it absolutely impossible for 
any one to secure an appointment in the classified service 
of the Government without being regularly examined and 
certified for appointment by the Civil Service Commission. 
He has also forbidden those in the Government service to 
use, or attempt to use, the influence of Congressmen to 
secure promotions or effect legislation on pain of dismissal 
from the service. All future promotions must be made on 
merit alone. 

AN ARMY OF APPOINTMENTS EACH YEAR 

There are now about 25,000 men and women appointed 
each year from these examinations. All appointments are 
for life, and for most places only a common-school education 
is required. Politics or religion is not considered. This 
furnishes a good opportunity for people between 16 and 45 
years df age. Examinations are held in the Spring and Fall 
each year at several places in each State. 

The Commission makes no charge to those who are ex- 
amined. It is not necessary to have an extensive education, 
but it is necessary to know the right things and be perfectly ' 
familiar with the technical rules of the Commission. It is 
no use to pass the examination at a low grade, as competition 
for most places is quite sharp, and only those who stand well 
are appointed. If you are interested in positions of this kind, 
you can get full information about them by writing for our 
Civil Service Catalogue.

DEPARTMENT OF LITERATURE flND JOURNALISM 

CATALOGUE FREE ON REQUEST. ALL COURSES BY MAIL 



The demand for young men and women in the newspaper 
world has increased considerably in recent years. It is im- 
possible or next to impossible to master journalism in an 
office without some preliminary training. It is difficult to get 
into the newspaper business without serving a long and 
discouraging apprenticeship, unless one takes a course in 
practical journalism. 

Teaching Journalism. Our course in Practical Journalism 
takes up every subject on which one need be informed in 
order to enter upon the practice of his profession well 
equipped. The following are some of the subjects: (i) 
Formation of Style,, (2) Reporting, (3) Editorials, (4) 
Preparation of Manuscript, (5) Space Writing, (6) Proof 
Reading, (7) Condensing, (8) Amplifying, (9) Interviewing, 
(10) Criticism. 

This department is in charge of Frederick F. Schrader, one 
of the leading journalists in the United States. Advanced 
work in writing short stories, essays and humorous produc- 
tions is given in connection with Higher Journalism. Tuition, 
for a course in Practical Journalism, $18. 

LITERATURE 

English. We are giving courses in English Literature, 
which include an analysis of the best authors, their works, 
and styles of writing. They are fascinating from the first 
line to the last. Miss Vinton is in charge of the work in 
English Literature, the courses in which have been prepared 
by her. The work begins with the dawn of letters in our 
language. Miss Vinton is a graduate of Wellesley College, 



and has had many years' experience as a practical instructor 
in English. She is also a well-known writer and critic. Her 
articles in "Self Culture," reviewing the leading books are 
familiar to all. Tuition for the English Course is $8. 

American. The work in American Literature, after a 
treatise on literature in general, takes up the early writers 
of colonial times and passes on through the gradual growth 
and development of the independent literature of this 
country, giving a critical analysis of each author's works, 
down to the current writers. Tuition, for American Course, $6. 

Criticism. Miss Vinton also criticises novels submitted to 
the college in manuscript by authors. The cost of such criti- 
cism can only be fixed after the manuscript is submitted. The 
criticism of manuscript plays is in charge of Mr. Schrader, 
himself a successful dramatist as shown by the many high- 
class plays written 'by him and successfully produced before 
cultured audiences everywhere. The cost of such criticism 
can only be determined after a play has been submitted. 

Short Stories. Persons not taking our courses in Journal- 
ism who wish to have short stories criticised, should forward 
their manuscripts to the Division of Criticism of the College. 
The work of the author will be carefully read by competent 
critics, errors in grammar, etc., corrected, and the handling 
of characters and plot material criticised in such a way as to 
enable the author to make great improvement in the story. 
Criticism of this character will cost $3. This work is in 
charge of Miss Wasserbach, of Trinity College, whose work 
as a writer and critic has received wide and favorable recog- 
nition. Send for a catalogue of our Department of Literature 
and Journalism.

DEPARTMENT OF LAW

The Department of Law is in charge of Hon. Charles A. 
Ray, LL. D., ex-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of 
Indiana. Judge Ray is one of the best known law-writers 
and jurists in the United States, and his personal attention 
to the courses of our students gives abundant assurance that 
they are conducted in a manner most profitable to the students. 
His entire time and attention is given to the work. All 
work is by mail. The Law Courses are in no way inferior 
to those given by the best resident universities, and students 
who graduate from this College are as competent to begin 
the practice of their profession as are graduates of any uni- 
versity in the country. 

The Professional Course covers three years, the following- 
subjects being taken up each year as indicated: 

The subjects of the professional course are as follows:

Law of Business Men. The first year of the Professional 
Course is especially proper for persons entering business life. 
THE SYSTEM 

A year's work covers the subjects grouped under that year, 
but a student may take as much longer to finish as he desires. 
He may also take the work in less time if he can do it jus- 
tice, but great haste is not encouraged. At the end of the 
year an examination is given the student, conducted by some 
competent person, preferably an attorney, in his own neigh- 
borhood, both student and attorney making affidavit that it 
has been fairly conducted. At the end of the first and 
second years a certificate is given showing the work covered. 
At the end of the third year the degree of LL. B. is conferred. 
The tuition for each year is $25 cash. The tuition may be 
paid in installments, which are fully explained in our Law 
Catalogue. 

Books Free. If it is not convenient to purchase, all 
books needed for the first year are furnished by the College 
free. For the second year, they are rented bv the College 
for $5.

DEPARTMENTS OF BOOKKEEPING flND STENOGRAPHY 

CATALOGUE FREii ON REQUEST. ALL COURSES BY MAIL 



Bookkeeping is perhaps more easily taught by mail than any 
other subject. This fact puts instruction within the reach of 
the large number of persons who are away from cities where 
good commercial colleges can be found. Our course of in- 
struction includes bookkeeping by Single and Double Entry, 
changing from Single to Double and from Double to Single 
Entry. It also embraces a great variety of business trans- 
actions from the simplest to the most intricate. It gives the 
student a most complete knowledge of all the business forms, 
such as Notes, Drafts, Checks, Bills of Exchange, Bills, 
Invoices, Accounts Sales, Statements, Bills of Lading, Due 
Bills, Orders and Balance Sheets. The following books are 
furnished free by the College : Text Book on Bookkeeping, 
Day Book, Journal, Journal-Day Book and Ledger, Cash 
Book, Sales Book, Bills Book, Special — Column Journal, 
Check Book and Pass Book. Four sets of Business Practice 
pads are also included, which consist of Receipts, Checks. 
Notes, Drafts, Deposit Slips, Bill Heads, Statements, Account 
Sales, Freight Bills, Telegraph Blanks, etc. 

The Work. The first work in bookkeeping consists of a 
preliminary trial in the fundamental principles, after which 
the pupil proceeds as though he were actually in business. 
This introduces an investment by the student, the purchase 
and sale of goods, making of a Trial Balance, the analysis 
or accounts, and closing of the Ledger. After this, more 
advanced work is given. Every transaction is businesslike, 



and unnecessary repetitions are avoided. We also have 
courses in Business Arithmetic, Commercial Law, Business 
Letters, Practical English, etc. Tuition for the Bookkeeping 
Course, $18. Send for a catalogue of our Department Book- 
keeping and Business. 

STENOGRAPHY 

Stenography has been successfully taught by mail for many 
years by this as well as other colleges. The system taught by 
the College is that most popular in the United States, and 
often spoken of as "the American System," the Ben Pitman. 
This system is the most legible of any, being scientific, free 
from arbitrary contractions, and easily and swiftly written. 
Our students always read well. The writer who cannot read 
his notes is worse off than one who has not begun, for he 
has much to unlearn. A week's work is sent at a time, and 
the student is constantly employed. 

There is great demand for good stenographers at present, 
both in the business world and in the Government service. 
The course here described is for beginners; persons who are 
advanced, writers, and wish the technical course for the 
civil service examination for Government positions, should 
enroll in the Department of Civil Service. Elementary 
Course, $8; Civil Service Course, $11.

NORMAL DEPARTMENT 

CATALOGUE FREE ON REQUEST. ALL COURSES BY MAIL. 



OBJECTS OF THE NORMAL DEPARTMENT 

i. To prepare persons for teachers' examinations with the 
least possible waste of time and effort. 

2. To advance the grades of teachers who wish better cer- 
tificates. 

3. To take the place of resident normal schools, which are 
expensive. 

4. To bring the teacher the helps which he needs in school 
management, and to give him the best training possible in the 
higher branches. 

5. To furnish competent instruction in advanced and techni- 
cal subjects, such as are not taught outside the universities. 

6. To take the place of summer schools, which are often 
inefficient. 

7. To take the place of the night school by lending a helping 
hand to boys, girls, men and women who are struggling to 
advance their education. 

The courses in the Normal Department are (a) The Stu- 
dents' Course; (b) The Examination Courses; (c) The In- 
termediate Normal Courses; (d) The Advanced Normal 
Course; (e) Special Courses. In addition to these the stu- 
dent may select from any course the subject he may desire, 
and these will be embodied in a course for his instruction 
under a special rate of tuition. 

DESCRIPTION OF COURSES 

The Examination Courses, Course A, Course B. These 
courses are designed expressly for preparing persons for 
teachers' examinations. They take the student over the entire 
field covered by the examination for which he is preparing, 
Course A consisting of several sets of general, comprehensive 
questions such as are to be expected in examinations, and 
Course B giving a thorough review of each subject from the 
beginning. The instruction applies only to the subjects cov- 
ered by the grade which the student desires, in the State in 
which he resides. 



These courses are direct and have no superfluous work. 
The rate of tuition for the Examination Course A is $5 ; 
for the Examination Course B, $7. 

The Intermediate Normal Course. The subjects of this 
course are as follows: (1) Arithmetic, from percentage to 
the finish; (2) Physical Geography, (3) Civil Government, 
(4) United States History, (5) Grammar, (6) Algebra, as 
far as and including fractions. It covers three months, one 
week's work being sent each week. The student is kept con- 
stantly employed. Tuition for the Intermediate Normal 
Course is $8. 

The Advanced Normal Course. The subjects of this 
course are as follows: (1) Plane Geometry, (2) Algebra, 
from fractions to quadratic equations, (3) Elementary Botany, 
(4) Elementary Physics, (5) English, (6) American Litera- 
ture, and (7) Rhetoric. This is a thorough work among the 
higher branches, the subjects being taught by competent in- 
structors. No pains have been spared in the arrangement of 
the work of this course, and we can highly recommend it. 
Tuition, $15. 

Students' Course. This course is adapted to the wants of 
all who are backward in their studies. Persons who have 
had little chance to get an education, and have only made a 
beginning in arithmetic, reading, writing, etc., can take this 
course. Studying at home evenings beside a good fire is 
inspiring. Our work is next to having a good teacher at 
one's side. A week's work is sent at a time, once each week, 
and a definite lesson is assigned for each day. The student 
sends in his work to the college each week, and his papers 
are marked and returned, being received by him by the time 
his next week's work is finished. The subjects are ( 1) Spell- 
ing, (2) Arithmetic, (3) Grammar, (4) Geography. (5) 
United States History, (6) Composition and Letter-Writing. 
The tuition is $5. Send for catalogue of Normal Department. 
It will be sent free.
